The D-18 Molly Tuttle Signature is a modern bluegrass classic—crafted to meet the demands of one of today’s most dynamic acoustic guitarists. Built on Martin’s legendary D-18 platform, this signature model delivers the power, clarity, and responsiveness required for both commanding flatpicking and nuanced fingerstyle work.
Featuring premium tonewoods and carefully voiced bracing, the guitar produces a bold, focused low end, crisp highs, and exceptional note separation, allowing complex runs and rhythmic drive to cut through with ease. Vintage-inspired appointments are balanced with player-centric refinements, resulting in an instrument that feels broken-in, responsive, and stage-ready from the first note.
Designed in close collaboration with Molly Tuttle, this D-18 reflects her forward-thinking approach to traditional music—rooted in heritage, but built for versatility, speed, and expression. Whether onstage, in the studio, or at home, the D-18 Molly Tuttle Signature offers the unmistakable Martin voice with the precision and power of a contemporary bluegrass icon.
